To be honest: I can't really tell. I bought the tibook with 768mb of ram from the beginning on. My brother has an alubook 12 inch which has just 256mb of ram. Comparing these, the tibook is much faster. But this could be due to the faster cpu, graphic.. I really don't know for sure. But more ram would never harm you (beside your wallet)

I can tab to buttons and drop-down menus now, but it still sucks. You have to hit the down arrow to get the menu to appear, then hit Enter for your choice to take effect. Doesn't really save much time over using the mouse. Hate to say it, but IE still does it much better. Seems Apple is still good at making things look nice but can't get the basics to work (that goes for their hardware too).

SCROLLING IS AWESOME! I was working on a website project of mine and was scrolling a lot this weekend and I was like... this is soooo slow! But this is just speedy, reminds me of Windows IE.

Shucks, now I will have to update RAM in our server to take away what little lag we do have.

Scrolling is much better. Very fluid and accurate, even on my old-ass machine.

Seems a little faster, and I'm not one of those people who percieves speed increases with every OS update like some do.

Haven't had a chance to check out the new tabbing functions, but I'm sure one day in the near future I'll be using tab for something and it'll just jump out at me, and I'll go, "Hey, cool!"

Can't wait for 10.3.3.

I wonder what the difference is? When I hit tab, it skips over the drop-downs and goes to the next text box or link.

Do you have full keyboard access turned on in the Keyboard preferences? That's the only thing I can think of.

It would also be nice if the download window would close when the last download finishes when you have it set to clear the download when it's done.... seems simple enough.

Also..... (while I'm in a ranting mood)

Since they managed to get links from other apps to load in a new tab, why can't they make links on webpages that are coded to open a new window, open as a new tab as well? For example, when you click a link in a thread here, it'd be nice to open a tab (without having to hold down a command key) instead of a new window. Obivously this would only be for people that have tabbed browsing turned on in the first place. Maybe I'm missing something.... oh well.
